I love when I teach someone something and in no time they do it better than me. Some folks don’t like that but I love it. I feel like I got to play a small part in a bigger plan of God. I don’t at all understand why folks compete with one another. we are each given certain gifts and talents from the Lord and we should encourage one another in them not try to beat each other out. There is one word for that behavior, pride. And pride is something that disgusts God. I must say I agree with him on that, honestly I agree with Him on everything, because well He is God and He wrote the book. But back to pride, it is truly ugly. We just don’t play that game around here. Not too long back a young man came over here and wanted to arm wrestle my hubby. Well hubby is 45 now but can still give these young guys a run for their money. He used to be a competitive bodybuilder so I guess that makes them think they are somebody if they can beat him. Well you know what? He got tired of the game and the last young man that tried to beat him did, hubby let him. Ha ha , laugh is on him. He got beat in the long run.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I love when I teach someone something and they take farther yet still stay humble. My daughters do that all the time, I teach them a recipe and they not only get it, but they improve upon it. I teach them a skill and they perfect it. That should bring us joy. It has always been my prayer that my children out-exel me in every skill and every God gifting and talent I have. And I think it is happening :).
